"I said I guessed who the assassin was, and you didn't refute me. Now you're saying it was me. Do you even have a clear idea of who it is? Do you even know who it is? There are only five of us. Taking down an assassin shouldn't be a problem!"
Li Mo leaned forward as he spoke, a mysterious smile on his face.
"Or are you all assassins, worried that I'll recognize you? Otherwise, why are you being so hesitant? Are you afraid you'll run out of time for the assassins? Don't forget, he didn't kill anyone yesterday, but he's definitely going to kill us today."

Perhaps Li Mo's words were a bit too blunt, because the others who hadn't spoken yet started to get restless.
Xiao Zhang was the first to speak up: "I agree with Li Mo's opinion. It would be safer for us to tie up the suspect who attempted the assassination."
Seeing that Xiao Zhang was the first to stand up and support Li Mo, Xiao Jia quickly followed suit and expressed her own stance.
"I agree, no objections. Feifei, what about you?"
Feifei didn't speak up immediately. She felt that Li Mo would talk about her. After all, she had been wary of Li Mo ever since he reappeared, and she didn't quite believe that Li Mo would take revenge for personal reasons.
Moreover, he was the one who initially planned to form an alliance with Li Mo, and he didn't mention that they couldn't stay in the forest at night.
There would be terrifying monsters killing people, and she always felt that Li Mo was different from before after he came back. It was as if he had something extra about him, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Gao Xuan looked at the hesitant Fei Fei, and he was equally worried that Li Mo would take revenge for personal reasons.
I haven't given Li Mo a friendly look since he appeared. Does Li Mo really know who the assassin is?
Gao Xuan also had candidates for assassination in mind, but he didn't have concrete evidence. How could Li Mo find valid evidence to prove the assassination after falling off a cliff once?
If he's just making his own guesses, then if the assassin really did kill someone, the person who was tied up would undoubtedly be in the most danger.
Who knows if Li Mo is using someone else to do his dirty work? There might be two assassins now.
These two are putting on an act!
Thinking of this, Gao Xuan directly expressed his opinion.
"I feel like something's not right about this. Who knows if you're in cahoots with the assassins, or if two of the five of us are assassins working together to target us survivors?!"
Feifei looked at Gao Xuan. She hadn't expected Gao Xuan to think that way, but it was also possible.
In an instant, the relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone started to be wary of each other. Xiao Zhang slowly moved to a single sofa, while Gao Xuan did not separate from Fei Fei and took Fei Fei to another sofa.
Li Mo was left with only Xiao Jia opposite him. Xiao Jia was on the verge of tears. How did things suddenly turn out like this?
Xiao Jia looked helplessly at Li Mo opposite her, and Li Mo smiled reassuringly at her.
“Gao Xuan is right. All the information I have about the assassins comes from what you told me, so I’m making inferences based on the clues you gave me. Now you can tell me, have you withheld any information about the assassins from me?”
The others exchanged glances and shook their heads at Li Mo, indicating that they didn't.
Li Mo continued to express his opinion.
"I have amnesia, but I'm not stupid. This survival game is about surviving to the end to win. So since we have the ability to catch the assassin, why not catch the assassin first and keep a close watch on him until the very end?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the other four people: "I don't want to live like you, constantly on edge, always distrusting each other, without even the most basic trust. Is that a life for a human being? I certainly don't want to!"
Gao Xuan opened his mouth to refute, but Fei Fei pulled him back.
Feifei nodded: "What you said makes sense, but I still have some doubts about you. How can you be so sure that you are not the assassin? The main thing is, if you are not the assassin, why did you disappear yesterday, but none of us were killed? That doesn't make sense."
Li Mo was truly at a loss. Why couldn't he reason with these people?
He understood Feifei's concerns, but this was a matter of life and death, and he felt that he might not be able to let go of his personal emotions and act impulsively.
This is utterly absurd! Does he really think he would resort to making baseless accusations just to vent his anger?
Li Mo was a little angry; this was just being unreasonable and delaying things.
Feifei felt her unease intensify as she sensed Li Mo's cold expression.
"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you all, getting bogged down in unnecessary things. There are five of us now. Let's vote by raising our hands. Those who support my point of view, please tie up the assassin I suspect first. Those who agree, please raise your hands. Let's begin the vote!"
Chapter 512: The Hanging Sword of Damocles! The Final Judgment! (Please Submit Your Own Chapter)
After Li Mo finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand. Xiao Zhang looked around and followed suit.
Neither Gao Xu nor Fei Fei expressed their opinions, remaining silent with their heads down. Xiao Jia looked left and right, looking troubled. She seemed to want to raise her hand, but Fei Fei's attitude made her hesitate.
Li Mo asked her directly, "Xiao Jia, what is your attitude?"
Feifei and Gao Xuan looked up at Xiaojia, whose face was flushed with anxiety. Xiaojia glanced at Feifei and then at Li Mo.
He lowered his head.
He whispered, "I don't know, but Li Mo 05, I'm sorry, I still trust Fei Fei more, so I won't raise my hand. Don't blame me."
Seeing this, Li Mo didn't get angry; instead, he laughed and shook his head as he laughed.
“I know you suspect me. If I can’t find the assassin today, or prove that I’m not the assassin, you’ll probably kick me out again tonight, right?”
This time, no one said a word, which was tantamount to acquiescing.
Li Mo nodded: "How about this, you tie me up and the assassin I mentioned together, okay? After I've presented my evidence, you can decide for yourselves whether to release me or the person I mentioned. Is that alright?"
Feifei retorted, "Are you sure? You want to be tied up too?"
Li Mo shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"Anyway, I'm not one of them, so I'm not worried. And if I'm wrong, even if you tie me up, you won't lose anything."
Feifei and Gao Xuan exchanged a glance, then looked at Xiao Jia.
Xiao Jia immediately said, "That's a good idea. I believe in Li Mo. He will eventually let him go. I think that even if Li Mo is the assassin, he won't be able to escape if we don't untie him."
Feifei finally nodded: "Okay, we agree, I'll go find a rope."
As she spoke, she got up to leave, and Li Mo immediately stood up as well, saying something.
"Hey, wait a minute, we should all go together, so no one gets left out. I don't want anyone to die at this time. Let's go, everyone, let's find the rope together."
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Jia also stood up, and the five of them moved together.
Fifteen minutes later, when I finally sat down in the living room again.
After sitting down again, Li Mo adopted a more casual posture, looking at the four people opposite him with a mocking smile on his face.
"Now we're going to begin. Are you all ready? I'm going to announce the name of the assassin I've found. After I say it, everyone has to cooperate and not struggle, otherwise it's equivalent to admitting that you're the assassin!"
Feifei and Gaoxuan looked rather grim, while Xiaojia looked around with some concern.
As before, Xiao Zhang kept his head down and remained silent.
However, you could still tell he was nervous from his somewhat stiff sitting posture.
Li Mo was the most relaxed person present, as if he wasn't the one who was about to be tied up.
Li Mo suddenly found it funny; he felt like the Sword of Damocles in Greek mythology, hanging over everyone's heads, waiting for it to fall and deliver the final judgment.
Gao Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Mo's words.
"Just tell us already, what? Do we need to put on a show for you, banging drums and gongs?"
"No need for fanfare, I bet the assassin's heart is pounding right now!"
Chapter 513: The assassin is sitting right across from me! Come on, tie us up together! (Please subscribe)
"Am I right, Xiao Jia!"
Xiao Jia looked up at Li Mo with a blank expression, not quite understanding what Li Mo meant.
"Li Mo, stop bullying Xiao Jia! Tell us what you have to say!"
Feifei was also getting impatient and urged Li Mo, but Li Mo had a mysterious smile on his face. He pointed at Xiao Jia with his chin and said helplessly.
“I’ve already told you, why didn’t you realize it? Do you want me to repeat myself? Fine, I’ll say the assassin is Xiao Jia sitting across from me.”
Feifei and Gao Xuan looked at Li Mo in surprise, and then looked at Xiao Jia in disbelief.
Xiao Jia was in a panic, shaking her head and waving her hands frantically, her eyes brimming with tears, looking at Fei Fei with tears welling up in her eyes.
Her voice was trembling with tears: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, Feifei, you have to believe me, how could it be me, Li Mo, you must have made a mistake!"
Xiao Zhang was even more direct; he picked up the rope and intended to tie Xiao Jia up.
Feifei glared angrily at Li Mo.
"Li Mo, don't talk nonsense. How could it be Xiao Jia? Among us, Xiao Jia trusts you the most. When you weren't around, it was Xiao Jia who spoke up for you. How can you suspect her?!"
Li Mo couldn't help but let out a "ha!"
"Isn't this something that requires evidence? It's about who cares about you the most? Who believes in you the most? If that's the case, then you, who made me fall off the cliff, are you the assassin?"
Feifei stood up in a panic, a look of fear flashing across her face.
"You're talking nonsense, don't spout lies, I didn't!"
Li Mo raised his hand, gesturing for a stop: "Alright, stop with the nonsense. Have you forgotten our agreement? Tie him up first, and you can decide what to do after I finish speaking. We're releasing him anyway, so what's the rush?"
Feifei was speechless after being confronted by Li Mo, and could only glare angrily at him.
Xiao Jia's tears fell when she saw that Fei Fei hadn't mentioned Li Mo.
With a look of grievance and confusion, she pointed at Li Mo and said, "I didn't offend you, did I? And how could I be an assassin? I'm the weakest among these people. You're talking nonsense!"
Li Mo tilted his head and looked at Xiao Jia with a half-smile.
"I misspoke. Then who was it? According to you, Feifei and Gao Xuan weren't involved, so it must be Xiao Zhang? But he's still a high school student, how could he kill someone? Then it must be me?!"
Li Mo waved his hand impatiently and said to Fei Fei and Gao Xuan.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Tie me up too, hurry up. As for right and wrong, we can talk about it after we're done. Xiao Zhang, tie Xiao Jia up tightly, don't let her escape. If she doesn't cooperate, it means she's admitting to being the assassin."
At the same time, Li Mo stood in front of Fei Fei and Gao Xuan and extended his hand.
"Come on, you two, stop looking and tie me up quickly. Don't you want to know if I said anything wrong?!"
Feifei picked up the rope and started tying it up.
Soon, Li Mo and Xiao Jia were tied up and secured to two chairs. Xiao Zhang showed no mercy and tied Xiao Jia up very tightly, just as Li Mo had instructed.
Li Mo was very satisfied, feeling that although Xiao Zhang was cunning, he was still reliable in crucial moments. At the very least, he was intelligent and wouldn't have a saintly heart for no reason.
In this respect, Gao Xuan did not do things as cleanly and efficiently as Xiao Zhang, without being wishy-washy.
